Re: [Computer-go] DeepMind's Victory over Ke Jie

1) triumphed over a particular boardgame, perhaps.

2) this has been true since the early days of Monte Carlo go bots -- it
tends to result in a higher winning probability when the focus is on...
winning probability. People have tried to make bots that focus on points
instead, but trying to win by more than komi usually results in a weaker
bot. Others can detail their experiments for you and have here at length.

Or just to reach the same level, with less computational effort (either
the training stage, or the playing engine), is an interesting challenge,
that is likely to teach us something that can be applied to other
problem domains.

For me, the big milestone in computer go was reached years ago: it was
when I could no longer beat the go app on my phone. (I think it was the
first Android release of Crazy Stone.)

It has achieved that goal, but the further goal of getting AIs to explain and 
teach is still out there.
